What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Granzin Bar-B-Q is praised for its delicious BBQ and extensive taco menu, particularly the breakfast tacos. Diners often highlight the rustic Texan atmosphere and friendly service. However, some reviews mention issues with food temperature, saltiness, and inconsistency in quality, with a few customers experiencing dry brisket and tough ribs.
"The breakfast tacos are the bomb!! Packed full of all of it and delicious! The Granzin is my family’s fav….I think that’s the reason it’s at the top of the taco menu.
The BBQ is also consistently delicious as well. The parking however, is a little tight for big trucks. The drive through is fast and friendly too.
This family has been doing BBQ for a long time and originally from New Braunfels. Keep up the great work gang!"

"We stopped at this restaurant on our way back home. We read good reviews about it. The restaurant has local a very appropriate rustic look Texan style decor.
We were entertained by the many details that the design of the dining room because it gives you the atmosphere of a Texan place.
In reference to the food, my personal experience, left me a not so great conclusion. I order a pulled pork sandwich that was on a bun that I requested toasted, and it wasn’t. The pulled pork meat itself was kind of , not cold, but not hot enough to to be enjoyed. . I had to ask them to reheat heat it somehow so that I could enjoy my sandwich. My husband order the baby back ribs. Not Surprisingly, the ribs were also cold.
I recommend that they re-evaluate the recipe also since it was extremely salty, and the pulled pork had already a flavor in it and similar to barbecue. Unfortunately, we were not pleased with our dinner experience here. However, I encourage you to give you a try and probably Have a different perspective in your visit."

"Super disappointed after seeing all the great reviews. I got the 2 meat plate with brisket, sausage, Mac and cheese, and potato salad. Also ordered a sweet tea. The Tea wasn't very sweet and was half way to sour.... The plate wasn't much better. Brisket was unseasonably dry. And sliced as thin as lunch meat. I've never had brisket sliced that thin in all my life. The sausage was ok, nothing to rave about. That mac and cheese was very milky. No cheese. The potato salad on the other hand was bangin!! I'd stop by just for the potato salad but other than that, I have no idea why people go on and on about this place. However, they're still better than Bill Millers."
